Triple damn!

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I think at the cost he's coming out at, a lot of people will initially pass on him. Then if the production run is relatively low, it will cause a spike in price and all of a sudden everyone will want one.
This thing is a beast and overall it's one of the nicest statue's I've ever seen. I think anyone that's on the fence and passes on it will end up regretting it.

As much as I like this, the incredible detail and size, I'm going to pass on it. With a $450 price tag paying custom duty, $59, and shipping, which will be at least $100 (Blondie shipping is $70), this will cost at least $600 in the end.

Damn, guys. I was content on waiting it out, but you just might be right. Coupled with the fact that this statue is just so unique, I think I may have to pull the trigger. I guess I'll put the order in and put in some extra overtime just for this!

those who pre-ordered babydoll when she was first solicited got her for the most part.

This costs twice as much and is certainly not a "must have" compared to the girls.

I stand by my statement that this will be available for less than msrp soon enough.
